5 Modern Pennies You Need To Weigh Up - Copper or Zinc?

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

There are 5 Modern Pennies that you should always weigh up while you're coin roll hunting... Let's take a look at them.
In this video, I'll talk about 5 pennies that were supposed to have been minted on zinc planchets but have been found minted on copper planchets. They are the :
1982 D Small Date Penny
1983 P Penny
1983 D Penny
1989 D Penny
1990 D Penny
While coin roll hunting, be sure to weigh up these 5 pennies every time to ensure you didn't pass up on a chance to earn some big bucks for yourself! They are out there! You just have to look for them in order to find them!

    Thanks for the video, Rob. I knew about the 82-D SM DT and the 83's but I did not know about the 89-D and 90-D. The Red Book is a little confusing when it comes to mintages for all 1982's combined. As far as I can tell, they minted almost 17 billion pennies in 1982, all small and large P&D. Would you concur with that? I know hardly a roll passes through my hands that I don't find a 1982...lol BTW...I found a 1998 WAM the other day. I'm going through $25 worth of customer wrapped rolls this morning, it's all I could find today. I just had two of the best boxes I've had in a while. Got almost a whole tube of wheat cents mostly 40's and 50's but I did find a 1928 and a 1907 Indian Head along with a 1952-2002 Canadian and four 1974-S's.

  • @alan30189
    @alan301899 ай бұрын

    I had a hard time seeing the difference in those dates on those four coins, other than the fact that the ones on the right we’re a little bit thicker. Both seem to have the same curves. The difference could be just in the press itself. How much do the pennies with later dates, on copper planchettes, sell for? That would’ve been interesting to know, and is it really worth your time and trouble?

    True - I didn't mention that particular cent. I know about it but here's my thoughts. UNLESS, it is found in MS65 or better, it is not even worth grading. Valued under $30. That being said, we should still look for it. Unfortunately, the 1982 Penny without a mint mark could have been struck at Philadelphia, San Francisco or West Point since none of those mints put mint marks on the coins that year... I was focusing mainly on pennies that would fetch a BIG price. Either way, I probably should have spoke about it in the video - great reminder and great catch!

    I found a 1982 P small date that's copper. I even weighed it. I always thought large date P, large date D, and small date P were copper or zinc while small date D was supposed to be zinc but there are copper errors. I never actually knew small date Ps were supposed to be all zinc. so my copper 1982 P small date is an error coin? or is it not?
